Dubai-based company LZine Technologies is launching an Intelligent Personal Assistant that will help UAE residents and travelers with daily life information and activities. The company is launching its flagship “LZine” platform in Abu Dhabi and Dubai cities by early 2018.

LZine is a digital platform which will host the character Zine, who will become closer to a user over a period, like a natural friend. ‘Zine’ is the name of the LZine interface as seen by consumers – a characterized and interactive interface. It will offer customized & personalized information & services to people by learning the user and their needs.

The company is backed by in5, a Dubai based well reputed accelerator under the Dubai Government initiative, along with seed fund investments from Dubai entrepreneur Ganesan Muthiah.

As of the beginning of next year, LZine will be first introduced in Dubai in January, followed by Abu Dhabi in March 2018. Zine has extensive knowledge about these two cities that is of utmost relevance to residents, expats and visitors. Not only is LZine an information portal for the city, it is also special because of the integrated services it provides. What makes this application unique is its ability to address the different needs a person may have in their day-to-day lives and satisfy all those needs through one medium.

Zine does not have to be addressed for it to help the user out. All it would require the user to do is input their preferences, and Zine will be able to learn people better the more it helps them. LZine is focusing on giving consumers easy accessibility to Zine through their handheld devices, particularly mobiles. Moreover, LZine’s products abudhabi2.com, dubaiholidaypackage.in, and the UAENext website will consume the company’s information and services. Thereby, users can also access Zine by logging on to the web portals.

Further to the Intelligent Personal Assistant Zine, LZine will provide exclusive platforms for businesses, in the form of LZine for Business (LFB) and LZine Business Solutions (LBS). The focus of the business platforms will helping organisations with professional activities like Travel Management, Employee Benefits Program, Employee Expense Management, New Employee On-boarding, and much more.

The LZine venture is an initiative of Arun Ramachandran and Bharath Manoharan, two believers in the limitless possibilities of technology who were eager to use that to help the society and make human lives smarter. They relocated from India to UAE in 2013, and during that period, came to realise the vast differences in living in both these countries. They also came to understand the massive expat population of UAE, and the need for something to simplify the moving process and the make the lives of existing and new residents easier. That realisation, combined with their quest for creating a city information portal, gave rise to the idea of a digital friend for every person to help them with their daily requirements. Thus, LZine was born.

LZine Technologies, a Dubai-based tech startup, has introduced its second exclusive product in the market. The new product is a website with the domain name of DubaiHolidayPackage.in, which offers a range of holiday packages to one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world – Dubai.

The holiday packages are especially tailored to cater to Indian tourists, who look forward to travelling to Dubai between September and April, the best time to visit the city in terms of weather and variety of activities to do. Different packages are available focusing on different durations and demographics, including packages for families, friends and couples, for a period of time ranging between five days and seven days.

The most unique and in fact one of the best aspects of DubaiHolidayPackage.in as a product is that it is an early adopter of the LZine platform to implement AI technologies and other LZine features, like learning user behavioral patterns, real time analytics and response, market segmentation, re-targeting/re-marketing, personalized sales, targeted delivery.
